Where a supplier refuses to remediate a breach, Unilever will take appropriate steps to address this in a manner that upholds commitment to our Five Principles.

Unilever will initiate a key incident process aligned with the Responsible Sourcing Policy for the most serious issues, such as immediate threat to life, which immediately escalates the grievance internally to allow quick planning and remediation.
